These 2 chapters talks about the activities that Solomon did after he built the temple of the Lord and his own palace.
Here we see Solomon’s obedience by following strictly to the daily requirement for offerings commanded by Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons and three annual feasts; and also appointing people to the various roles and responsibilities.
What really struck me is the message from the Lord to Solomon – 1 Ki 9:6-9. We are constantly reminded to obey God’s commands for we know what the consequences are.
Luke 4:4 – Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
We have to do a self-check every moment of our life to ensure that we do not commit anything against His commandments. It’s not easy, but hey, it’s not an easy ride to be Christ like. Start checking yourself right now!!
